    Nike is laying off 2% of its corporate workforce as it contends with weaker consumer spending. 'The actions that we’re taking put us in the position to right-size our organization to get after our biggest growth opportunities as interest in sport, health and wellness have never been stronger," Nike said in a statement to FOX Business. Starting Friday, more than 1,600 positions will be cut as the company tries to increase its investment in high-priority areas such as running, women's clothing and its Jordan brand, CEO John Donahoe told employees, according to a memo seen by The Wall Street Journal.

    A top marketing specialist at Nike responded to Iran-backed terror group Hamas's Oct. 7 slaughtering of innocent Israeli women and children by accusing the Jewish state—not Hamas—of "massacring civilians." James Rehwald, who has worked as a "digital media marketing specialist" at Nike since 2021, on Oct. 16 posted a video to his Patreon account titled, "Why Israel Deliberately Targets Civilians." That video, Rehwald wrote in his caption, exposes the "brutal military and settler colonial occupation that Israel has imposed on its native Palestinians for the past 75 years." Rehwald went on to downplay the atrocities Hamas terrorists committed against Israelis...

It had sent a letter to the city requesting that off-duty police officers work at the store. In its statement Friday, Nike did not mention...

    When Nike had Dylan Mulvaney frolicking around in a sports bra and leggings a couple of months ago, we were pretty put off. And just plain annoyed.

Daily Wire field reporter Spencer Lindquist has the disturbing scoop: BREAKING: A leaked email from inside of Nike and obtained by @realDailyWire reveals that the company will host a talk with a child sex change surgeon to celebrate pride month.

    Video: Dylan Mulvaney Advertises Women’s Shaving Cream by Shaving his Male Facial Hair Transgender internet personality Dylan Mulvaney, a man who claims to be a woman, advertised women’s shaving cream by shaving his male facial hair, and claiming that he’s the type of “girl” who has to shave his face “every day.” Despite widespread opposition to the transgender movement, which outwardly targets American children for deadly mutilation, Nike, Budweiser, Kate Spade, and more have entered into advertising partnerships with Mulvaney, including for the marketing of women’s clothing and beauty accessories. The bizarre video ad was created by trans internet personality...

    This morning I saw a parody ad, I think from MRC, called "REAL MAN HIDING HIS PENIS" featuring the fake woman Dylan Mulvaney. As I said, I'm pretty sure it was from MRC. It was brilliant. Great parody of the real men of genius campaign. In fact, I'm pretty sure I shared it. I wanted to send the video to a friend. I cannot find it ANYWHERE. Does anyone know where I might locate it?

    VIDEOIt's really all about MOCKING women. That is the purpose of the Bud Light spokesman/woman/whatever Dylan Mulvaney. Just another way for the nihilistic left to tear down western society by also tearing down gender distinctions by mocking them. And now that Nike has chosen this weirdo to be their "brand ambassador" they are also complicit. Here are a few reactions to Nike MOCKING the same women they hope to sell products to. Good luck with that.

    Nike today doubled down on using a transgender influencer to promote its female clothes, telling customers calling for a boycott to 'be kind and inclusive'. The firm's tone-deaf response came amid women's concerns over Dylan Mulvaney, who identifies as female but has not had reassignment surgery. Mulvaney - who uses the pronouns she or they - was seen in paid social media content dancing in a Nike sports bra and leggings. It sparked furious calls for a boycott, with Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies leading calls and customers deluging the company with complaints. Today Nike issued its first response online, declaring...

    Caitlyn Jenner came out swinging against Woke NIKE for selecting fellow transgender Dylan Mulvaney as a brand ambassador. As Breitbart News reported this week, NIKE Women selected Dylan Mulvaney to sell women’s sports bras and leggings despite being a man.... Caitlyn Jenner, who has strongly criticized the inclusion of men in women’s sports, sounded off on Twitter over the NIKE partnership, saying it contributes to the erasure of women. “As someone that grew up in awe of what Phil Knight did, it is a shame to see such an iconic American company go so woke!

    If we want to win the culture war it AIN’T gonna be pretty. And make no mistake, this is WAR. A war on our kids, a war on women, a war on our communities, and to Matt Walsh’s point, ‘going woke and going broke’ clearly isn’t enough to get corporations to pay attention. Otherwise, they wouldn’t pick an obvious man playing an insulting caricature of women to represent their products. Walsh wrote a fairly brutal thread and actually called out conservatives: The Left has taken away all of the neutral cultural ground. This is why brands like Bud Light and...
